About the Book

This book provides an interdisciplinary account of how technological advances – mainly in the domains of energy and transportation – contribute to the transformation towards a more sustainable economic system. Drawing on methods from engineering, the management sciences and economics, which it combines in the framework of a systems sciences approach, the book presents qualitative and quantitative studies on government regulation, resources management and firms' strategy. Topics covered include the state-market dilemma of government CO2 emission targets, implications of the electrification of the economy, incentives and coercion in government transport policies, and innovations in the electric vehicle industry.

Table of Contents:
 Introduction - Reframing the notion of sustainable economy through perspectives on limits, tensions and paradoxes within the system.-Part I. From energy market regulations to CO2 targets.-Part II. Eco-innovation and new production models.-Part III. The regional approach to sustainable transport as a new paradigm.
